Why is Sameer so overhyped ??? - Page 9

There is a shift in the tone of the discussions on the Forum. As I read the newer posts on particular participants, I wonder what our role as music lovers (who appear for the most part to be older than these children) is. Is it to discuss the music, musicality of their performances in a constructive which allows us and them to learn? Or is it to let our own competitive nature cloud our experience of their performances?

Every child at this point in the competition is gifted. And every child has something to learn (as do we all). Performances vary from day to day. Sometimes we like what they sing, sometimes we do not. We now come into each week's programme with our pre-set notions about them.

But they are only children. And we are so fortunate that they are all such gifted children. For the one hour twice a week that we hear them, they remind us of the good things in life. The innocence in their voices transforms songs we know and transports us into a very pure experience of the bhava they express. This is why we keep saying we are moved by this and that performance.

At this point, I will be sad whoever leaves and happy for whoever wins. I will be saddest if the discussions on this forum deteriorate to criticising one child in order to support the other, and all in the name of lively discussion.

What exactly is SRGMP Lil Champs?
Is this a search for the best child singer?
Is this a search for the most talented performer?
Is he overhyped? Depending on the point of view you have you can think either ways

Many people in favor of Sameer seem to agree he is not the most learnt/talented singer here, But he is certainly worthy of being here and deserves a place in this contest.

But without a doubt, He certainly seems to have the X-factor here(similar to Gurupreet) and the X-factor always seem to carry a baggage of overrated/hyped with it

For me I always predicted a finale between Diwakar and Sameer, which would be a lot of fun 😉

My Point of view, you are also entitled to one 😉

Sameer and Shraddha are not in the same league as Abhro, Sanchita, Pawni and Neha. Diwakar sings soulful songs for reasons known to us and he is pleasant to hear.

With all my music knowledge I find judges being lenient on Sameer and Shradhha. They are good but get away with average performances. Sameer has a unique voice but it cracks ever so often that it is not something I will sit up for. It is just that his casual approach makes him likeable. I admit that I appreciate him for everything but his voice. He is not Top of the mind recall for his voice

Shradha, I still cannot figure out how she is here and Neha is out.

Over all ...Alka is particularly partial towards Sameer and that makes the situation all the more un palatable
Gurpreet was really hyped, very shrill voice, needs years of practice to mature. With nothing against the child and all good wishes, I actually muted the tv when she sang.

This show is just like any other soap opera fully skripted and run to make money. Here the actors (kids..) are trapped and acting and singing for free...!

Looks like Sameer has a great fan following despite his so obvious shortcomings as a serious contender for Lil Champ. Looks like public voting will be really killing good talent this time. I am sure somehow, if left to judges he would have been made to leave soon.. becos after all judges can not condone so colossal deficit in singing for so long..

I can understand Mumbai people being very enthusiastic about their "talented" child while petending not to be dazzled by real gems out there.

If you are talented, no one will like you.. You will offend many others.

Try to be average goodie, goodie and people will fawn over you.

DOnt try learning music at early stage or take any training because then obviously you will be singing better than others .. whats a big deal ?

You must be versatile enough to sing every song equally badly.

Pick up popular songs. Dont choose any rare gems or you will draw a big yawn.

Be as odourless, colourless as possible and people will compete to compliment you in superlatives..

Yes.. Welcome to this real world of matrix.. We love you and eagerly awaiting to corrupt you..

i think if at anyone is overhyped it is shradha, who is the most inconsistent person among all the Lil champs.

Sameer is very casual & sings more effortlessly than the others. Personally love this 11 year old. And if we add up all the B's B+, sameer would top that list, as the judges have been very strict with him. which is good as it only helps him improve his performance the second time around.

Think the top 4 should be abhro, sanchita, sameer and diwakar.

True ...I guess they should not have introduced voting for children. If they go out because judges have done the scoring..it is easier to accept and leaves lot of scope for improvement. If it is voting, it is more like whether people like me and is equated with various other factors beyond singing. This may distract them from their mail goal ...improve their singing. Till date viewers have not been able to choose the best talent thru votes be it SRGMP or Indian Idol or FG
